Makasiini L3 on the news

For the past 1.5 years, me and my colleagues have had the honor to occupy a great old harbor warehouse, “Makasiini L3”, at the shore of Helsinki’s Jätkäsaari harbor. This building, designed by Lars Sonck in 1927, had been lying empty for a few years, but recently it’s been developing into a new center of creative workers, new businesses, exhibition spaces and events. The city of Helsinki is now discussing the future development of the building and offering it to real estate developers, with the plan to turn the building into a commercial and office environment. We would like to raise debate of the undisputed potentials the L3 could offer for the developing Jätkäsaari area from a broader perspective. Today there’s been a lot of discussion in the media.
